Talking Next To The Sea

“It is true that he spoke our tongue incorrectly and in an anglicised way, like all those whose mouths are more accustomed to chewing anglo-saxon pebbles and to talking next to the sea.”

Jules Barbey D'Aurevilly, On Dandyism And George Brummell (1845), translation by George Walden (2002)
